I've said this countless times drunk, but just in case you missed it:
Brett Farve is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history despite the fact that he hasn't had a great WR to throw to since Sterling Sharpe.
You might say, "What about that dickhead who now plays for the Raiders? You know, the guy who got his ass kicked in Vegas or whatever." Yeah, you mean Javon Walker. That guy is junk. BP, for those who know him, once tried to convince me that Javon Walker was the greatest WR in the league. This was about the time the Broncos picked him up. He really panned out, didn't he? Just because there are a lot of great WRs in the league with head problems doesn't mean a guy with head problems is a great WR.
Other WRs who would be GREAT number two guys on most teams:
Donald Driver (he even sounds like a number 2 WR)
Greg Jennings (he might become a good one....hasn't yet)
Lavernious Coles (if he wasn't undersized, a poor blocker, and lazy....he would be....decent)
So, yeah, no good WRs for the Farve.

Top Twelve
Every year NFL fans like to sit around and speculate about who will win the Superbowl. Occassionally they will even make a chart that details who will make the playoffs, win the championship games, etc.
I'm beginning to think that a better question (at the start of the season) is, "What art the 12 best teams in the league?" Forget about division, conference, schedule...yadda, yadda, yadda. Just ask yourself who are the 12 best. Here's my list (in no order, because order doesn't matter at the moment):
New England Patriots
Indianapolis Colts
Pittsburgh Steelers
Jacksonville Jaguars
Dallas Cowboys
Minnesota Vikings
Green Bay Packers
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Seattle Seahawks
San Diego Chargers
Tennessee Titans
Okay, so that is my top twelve. Now next question, "Who just missed your top twelve?" Here's mine:
Philadelphia Eagles
Cleveland Browns
New York Jets
New York Giants
Alright, now we have a list. This list is helpful, I think, in several ways. First, it helps you identify surprise teams. A surprise team shouldn't make either list (the twelve or the "just outs"). Of course, you could use one of the "just outs" as a surprise Super Bowl team. It would be a surprise if the Eagles, Browns, Jets, or Giants (yes I said it) made the Super Bowl. The latter because they have basically lost their defensive line (which won them the Super Bowl last year). But it wouldn't be a surprise if they made the playoffs. So, NFL Live commentators need to stop saying that the Browns and Jets could be suprise playoff teams. Unlikely playoff teams...sure...but not a surprise.
JJ's surprise playoff teams: Buffalo Bills or Oakland Raiders (seriously).
JJ's surprise Super Bowl team: Philadelphia Eagles.
Second, the list is a nice way to see potential log jams. The Colts, Jaguars, and Titans all made my top twelve. Yeah, that is a log jam (something we noticed last year). And it clearly makes the AFC South the deepest conference in the NFL (even though the Texans are there and they are among the suckiest-suck in the league). Also, the AFC West is just garbage. Garbage I say. Hence my Oakland pick (see above).
Third, it appears that the NFL is built on defense at the moment. Most of those teams are known for their defense...with a few exceptions (i.e., Colts).
Anyway, that is my top 12.
